No Hidden Extras

Included as Standard With Every Snagging Inspection

Included

Full Snagging Inspection

A detailed internal and external inspection of your new build against current standards and guidance.

Included

Drone Roof Inspection

Close-up drone images of your roof, chimneys and roofline - areas you cannot safely see from the ground.

Included

Thermal Imaging Scan

A thermal camera scan to help pick up hidden issues such as missing insulation and air leakage.

Included

Report in 24-48 Hours

A clear photographic report, ready to send straight to your developer, issued within 24-48 hours.

Drone flights are subject to weather and airspace restrictions. Thermal scan results depend on conditions on the day.

How It Works

Our Inspection Process

From the moment we arrive to the final thermal scan, here is what to expect on the day.

  1. Snag Surveys inspector arriving to meet a new build homeowner at their front door

    Meeting You at Your New Home

    Your inspector arrives on time, introduces themselves and talks through any concerns you already have about the property.

  2. Snag Surveys inspector checking brickwork beside a window with a spirit level

    Measuring & Detailed Checks

    Every room and elevation is checked with levels and measuring tools against current standards and guidance.

  3. Snag Surveys inspector flying a drone over a new build home to inspect the roof

    Drone Roof Inspection

    A drone captures close-up images of your roof, chimney and roofline - areas you cannot safely see from the ground.

  4. Snag Surveys inspector using a thermal imaging camera on a new build window

    Thermal Imaging Scan

    A thermal camera helps pick up hidden issues such as missing insulation, cold spots and air leakage.

We used Snag Surveys Ltd for an end of warranty snagging report before our 2 year developer warranty expires to give ourselves peace of mind that there are no issues, or so that any issues could be identified and rectified. … Will was punctual, professional, polite and friendly. He conducted the survey of the house smoothly and took the time to point out and explain issues to me so that I could clearly see and understand what was wrong. … Will then wrote up a detailed report and this was sent to me the same day. … The pricing is competitive and absolutely worth every penny.

We had our new build home in Melling snagged by Will yesterday and couldn't be happier with the service we received. From booking through to receiving the report, everything was professional, straightforward and efficient. … What really impressed us was the turnaround time - we received our full snagging report the very same day. The report was clear, well organised and included detailed descriptions and photographs of every issue, making it really easy to send straight to the developer.

Extremely thorough and professional. Will the surveyor examined our property so very well, we were surprised and very reassured by the detail he went to - and the end report on conclusion including the drones images of our roof, were excellent. He gave us confidence to have the detailed plan to share with our developer and we had the impression that they got on fixing the property snagging much more quickly because we'd used a professional snagger.

Google Review

I recently used Snag Surveys Ltd for a snagging inspection on my new-build home, and I'm extremely pleased with the service from start to finish. … The inspector highlighted several issues that needed attention, while also reassuring me that many aspects of the build were completed to a high standard. … A particular highlight was the drone photography - the aerial images were excellent quality and provided a view of the roof and surrounding areas that I would never have been able to see otherwise. … The report has made it much easier for me to engage with my developer and ensure everything is put right.
